Hi Rancy, Been corresponding with James (Butch) for about a year now. He is related to me, throught Roxana Phillips Williamson wife of Jordan. I have already notified him of his error. Our Jordan did not have a brother named Thomas. Our James was James R. Talk soon, Carolyn

I am looking for anyone that has information on this family or connects to it in any way. Timothy Descendants of John Ezell Generation No. 1 1. JOHN1 EZELL was born Bet. 1707 - 1710 in Surry County, Virginia, and died Bet. 1796 - 1805 in Probably Lancaster, South Carolina. He married HANNAH AVORISS in Probably in Mecklenburg County, Virginia. Child of JOHN EZELL and HANNAH AVORISS is: 2. i. JOHN2 EZELL, JR., b. 1733, Surry County, Virginia. Generation No. 2 2. JOHN2 EZELL, JR. (JOHN1) was born 1733 in Surry County, Virginia. He married MARTHA. Child of JOHN EZELL and MARTHA is: 3. i. WILLIAM3 EZELL, b. Bef. 1750; d. April 02, 1831, Trigg County, Kentucky. Generation No. 3 3. WILLIAM3 EZELL (JOHN2, JOHN1) was born Bef. 1750, and died April 02, 1831 in Trigg County, Kentucky. He married SARAH GILLIAM. Child of WILLIAM EZELL and SARAH GILLIAM is: i. GILLIAM4 EZELL, b. Abt. 1770; d. 1843, Trigg County, Kentucky; m. NANCY SLAUGHTER.

Hi James, I believe we have a connection with James Williamson & Melinda Murray. I'll need to check my files tonight and get the details. I had thought that James was James R. Williamson instead of James C. Williamson. I have a copy of a court case that arose when James died. It was brought by Jordan at al. against Melinda et al. I don't know why it arose, but it mentioned the names of his children. I understand that Mary Jane Williamson was one of his daughters. Mary Susan was his grand-daughter. I'll send you more of what I have after I check with my files at home. Regards, Randy

Karl, The farthest back I go is my ggg Stephen Jordan,b.1790 in Surrey co. Do you have any information on him? victoria --- Karl Blount <kblount@ccsinc.com> wrote: > Four Mile Tree is in Surry County on the James > River. "Four'' miles from > Jamestown settlement.

Four Mile Tree is in Surry County on the James River. "Four'' miles from Jamestown settlement. It is up the river to the left. It is still there. We went over last year to look at the cemetery (on personal property). We are also from a Jordan line. Fortune Jordan married John Flood who's son Walter Flood married Anne Browne from "Four Mile Tree". phyllis ---------- > From: victoria german <greenvillebelle@yahoo.com> > To: VAMECKLE-L@rootsweb.com > Subject: Re: Re: [VAMECKLE] Edward W Yancey 1830-1914 & Catherine Rebecca Newton 1849-1915 > Date: Tuesday, October 19, 1999 10:23 AM > > Can someone tell me where Four Mile Tree in Surry > county is?My ggg Steven Jordan was born in Surry > county in 1790.I also have Garretts,but they are in > SC.Do any of you have a Frank Garrett who married a > Margaret Griffith? > Victoria > > --- Randy Garrett <rgarrett@kgo.csc.com> wrote: > > Hi Martha, > > > > I wish I had information on Rachel Garrett, but I > > haven't pushed my Garrett > > line much past 1860.

Hi Martha, I wish I had information on Rachel Garrett, but I haven't pushed my Garrett line much past 1860. This is what I have on the Garretts. One of my complications is that they lived right on the Virginia - North Carolina border and each generation seemed to change sides. As an aside, the Mary Jane Williamson shown below is Mary Susan Williamson's aunt. Hope this helps, Randy Descendants of Edward J. Garrett 1 Edward J.

How about Alpine District? Where is it? Thanks for your help. Diane

Can someone please tell me where Edgefield County is? What cities? Thanks. Diane

Dear List, I have found reference to several lawsuits in the Order Books for Mecklenburg county in the early 1800's that I would like to learn more about. Can anyone tell me if the case files for Mecklenburg county are kept at the courthouse in Boydton? If so, how are they accessed? Any help will be appreciated, Kent Elam

Dear list, While I was going over the Court Order Books for Mecklenburg county this afternoon, I came upon a rather humorous notation. In Order Book 10 on page 443, Samuel Puryear is being named surveyor of a particular road. Next to his name in parenthesis is the following, "Samuel Puryear (snuff nose)". As any of you know, the order books, while fascinating, are also pretty stuffy. It took me by surprise. I even had one of the archivists read it to verify that I was not seeing it wrong. You never know what you will find. Thanks to everyone who responded concerning my question about Deed Poll of Trust. Kent Elam

Yes, we are looking for information which links the Wagstaff family to the Hurt family in Mecklenburg County. We have Mary Wagstaff married to William Hurt in the mid to late 1700's. She was the daughter of Basil Wagstaff. I believe that their son, Wagstaff Hurt is the same that ended up in Dyer County, TN and witnessed the marriage of William Hurt and E. Bowers in Nashville, TN in 1829. He would have been Wagstaff's nephew. The father of William Hurt may have been William Hurt, brother of Wagstaff. Does this tally with your information? Judith K. Arthur jkarthur@aol.com

I would like to be in contact with anyone researching Sharp of Mecklenburg. Particularly the SHARP & ELAM connections as well as M. Turner SHARP son of Mark Sharp. Thank you, Carol Hurley

There was an article submitted to the two legacy books published by the Person County Historical Society. As I recall their line came from a John Wagstaff who supposedly was born in 1725 in England; was married to a Mary Wagstaff and had the following children: Kit, Byrd, Britton, and Basie Wagstaff. Britton Wagstaff settled in Person County ca. 1800/1810 when he bui lt his home there. Best regards, John Fox Winston-Salem, NC
